Highland & Desert Lynx cats are extremely intelligent, friendly, active, and playful. They are very social quickly settling in and becoming part of the family. You’ll find them to be very affectionate and will enjoy snuggling with you at night or just being held and played with.

Compared to other domesticated cat breeds, the Highland & Desert Lynx are much more like a dog. They are easy to train to walk on a leash, fetch, and more. They love your attention and  make wonderful family members and companions.

It’s in your best interest to spay or neuter your kitten at a young age. Unaltered males as they mature will begin to mark (spray) their territory which can be very unpleasant to live with. Neutered cats also tend to be calmer. 

Unaltered females will go into heat as they mature. Often as early as five months. When in heat it alters their behavior. For example, they make very unpleasant noises, become agitated, and want out to find a male. Spaying a female before she has her first heat greatly reduces the risk of certain cancers. 

Check with your Veterinarian for additional information and when the best age to do this is for your kitten.
